Barnett Zeldin, 74, was last seen Oct. 7, investigators said. They added that he’d told others he would be hunting near Oswego Lake, in the wooded area in Burlington County.

Detectives with the state police missing persons unit and the Troop C investigation office started looking into the case. They found Zeldin’s vehicle in a large wooded area of the Recreation Area on Oct. 13.

Investigators said hunters in the area should remain attentive, avoid touching anything noteworthy they find and immediately report it to law enforcement. The case agent — Detective Sgt. Simonson of the state police Tuckerton Station — can be reached at 609-296-3132.

Hunters are reminded to carry their cellphones and use GPS coordinate apps in any case.
